Shirt Collar Jacket

The classic shirt collar silhouette, cut in vegan leather: a soft pointed collar that folds open at the neck the way a shirt does, a body that runs straight and clean through to the hem with nothing gathering it in, and a length that finishes just past the waistband. It's a shape that has been around as long as leather jackets have, and it holds because there's nothing extra in it. That collar is what makes it easy to wear — it reads closer to a shirt than to outerwear, so it slips under a coat as readily as it goes over a tee.

It's made in Italy in vegan leather with a pebble grain, soft in the hand with a low sheen that catches the light across the shoulders and the sleeves. It's fully lined in viscose, so it goes on over a tee, a shirt or a fine knit without dragging on any of them.

The front fastens with a single zip running straight up to the collar. Two slip pockets sit at the front with cotton linings, and there's a slip pocket inside.

Wear it over a tee with olive cargos and black boots, or over an overshirt with straight jeans and derbies when you want the layers showing. It also goes over a shirt with tailored trousers and loafers for something cleaner. It's a jacket that sits between smart and rough, so what you put under it decides where it lands.
